About Banana Analytics
Built to Close the Gap Between Environmental Conditions and Health Outcomes.
Banana Analytics exists because environmental factors are reshaping where care is needed, and nobody was connecting the data.
The Problem We're Solving
What We Believe
Environmental factors are reshaping where care is needed, but the data to see it is scattered across a dozen federal agencies, and nobody is connecting it to health system planning. Air quality data lives at EPA. Disease burden data lives at CDC. Provider supply data lives at CMS. Climate data lives at NOAA. Each agency publishes independently. None of them fuse it at the community level.
Health systems plan service lines without environmental context. Public health departments write community health needs assessments that include demographics and chronic disease rates but leave out air quality, water contamination, and soil risk. Advocacy organizations make the case for underserved communities without the data to show where environmental risk and provider shortages compound.
The data exists. The tools to connect it didn't. That's why Banana exists: to fuse environmental health data at the county level, make it accessible to any community, and build the intelligence layer that helps organizations act on what the data shows.
Why We See It Differently
Clinical DNA. Engineering Rigor.
Banana was built by someone who started in direct patient care and transitioned into healthcare data engineering. That combination is rare, and it shapes how the company thinks about data: not as an abstraction, but as something that starts at the point of care and needs to be trustworthy by the time it reaches a decision-maker.
Over a decade of building reporting infrastructure at academic medical centers and safety-net health systems revealed a persistent upstream gap. Environmental factors were reshaping health outcomes, but nobody was connecting that data to the systems that plan for care. The tools to see it did not exist, so they got built.
Banana Analytics was incorporated as a Public Benefit Corporation because the mission needed to be structurally protected, not just aspirational. The platform fuses data from EPA, CDC, CMS, NOAA, Census, NCI, USGS, and other federal sources at the county level. Revenue funds the company's existence and drives innovation for new tools. We keep as much of the platform accessible as possible because the mission is in our articles of incorporation.
